20 years ago murder rates in the United States were over twice what they are now. This was mainly do to gang/drug activity. No one law made the murder rates drop. Instead it was cultural shift.
Today people who feel completely helpless can take out their frustration by grabbing a gun and killing a bunch of people. It is not as much for the fame as it is for the feeling of power and control it gives them.
How do we fix it? I don't know.
We stop protecting kids from the world. Sometimes you fail. You will lose at some point. Some one will be mean to you. Someone will hurt you, emotionally or physically.
Deal with it. Learn from losses and mistakes. Get better. Be above those who are mean or hurt. But instead we teach victimhood. You're a victim. You can't do anything because you're a victim. Don't fight back. Don't express your anger.
